Issues : Errors of A

b. 423

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

..

A does not have a  lowering d3 to d3 at the beginning of the bar. Chopin's patent oversight was corrected – perhaps by himself – already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2).

b. 433

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

..

In A the notation of accidentals in this bar is inaccurate:

  • there is only one  before the 1st chord in the R.H.; moreover, it is written in such a way that one cannot be certain which note it concerns (we assume that it is d3),
  • in each of the triplets, a  is only before the 1st note,
  • no  before the bottom note of the third in the L.H. on the 3rd beat of the bar.

The necessary signs were added already in GE1 (→FE); however, the  before the bottom note of the octave in the L.H. at the beginning of the bar was overlooked. EE and GE2 feature the correct notation.

b. 435-436

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

..

In A, Chopin wrote the final section of figuration in this phrase (from e2), as if he thought the majority of the previously introduced accidentals to be still valid – he put flats only before the 3rd and 7th quavers in bar 436. In the latter, signs were added in GE (→FE→EE), yet the  at the end of the previous bar – only in EE.

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

There is no  raising d to d in A (→FE→EE1). Chopin's patent inaccuracy was corrected by Fontana in FC (→GE); a  was also added in EE2 (→EE3).

There is no  restoring g2 on the 3rd beat of bars 454 and 462 in A (→GE→FE). The patent mistake was corrected only in EE.
